Pokémon Rumble Blast is a sequel to the WiiWare title Pokémon Rumble, which was released worldwide in 2009. Pokémon Rumble Blast will be the first dedicated Pokémon game for the Nintendo 3DS (excluding the Pokédex 3D application). This new game features all current Pokémon, unlike the original game, which only featured Pokémon introduced in Generation I and Generation IV. It will also feature wireless co-operative play and use the 3DS's StreetPass feature to allow players to battle other players who have been picked up via StreetPass.
